Happy Bassgiving! I thought I’d post some links to download some BASS for the Holidays.

I GUESS U KNOW

THINK BASS

Enjoy, Let the Bass come out so clear…

So I’ve started back at the gym. Let the soreness of working out again commence. Hopefully, it won’t last to long and I’ll be back into the groove before I know it.

Another good thing about starting back at the gym it gives me more time to catch up on new mixes by DJ’s I enjoy and being able to listen to the complete mix without interuption. The last few workouts I’ve been rocking out to the new Girl Talk “All Day” mix and it blows me away all the samples he used. I have mad respect for what he’s doing but given the amount of time he put into it the new mix I’d love to be able to devote that kind of time into creating a mix like this and see what my brain can create.

Time will tell & 2011 is right around the corner.

Also a big shout out to the boys over at Kuad for hooking me up with some new heat!

So I’m going to let you in on a little secret of mine…. I frequent this site a lot looking for unique acapella’s and other useful remix stems. It’s called “Acapellas -4-All“. If your into mashups, production or remixes and you’re looking for something to play around with. Check this site house!

Enjoy!

So talking to my very supportive wife over the weekend, she came up with what I feel is a fabulous idea! After listening to a mix cd I did she made a suggestion of putting together some mixes and NOT using any of my “goto” songs. This may seem pretty obvious as a DJ but I always felt when certain tracks go together it’s just a natural thing to do.

After spending some time thinking about what she said, I must say I COMPLETELY agree with her. How can I grow as a DJ without pushing the boundaries? So I have started the process again of transfering more of my vinyl into Serato and searching the interwebs even more for new & unknown tracks.

The time is NOW to experiment with my sound again! I am brainstorming some ideas and basically going to re-invent my sound but keeping true to my roots at the same time and see just how far I can push the boundaries.

You can always find me on twitter: www.twitter.com/djsharpemusic 

You can also always find links on the right to download original tracks, mixes, previous releases & my booking info. Feel free to comment on my site with requests, suggestions or just to exchange ideas or collaboration requests.

Stay tuned and remember:

So, I made a decision… Yes, Yes. I decided to not make a trip to WMC (Winter Music Conference) this year. I had a booking for a prior gig for RETSO in ATL.  This is a decision I do not regret, RETSO was a GREAT event! The organizers were on point as well as the speakers and if you know me, you know I don’t speak Real Estate, but take it from me, these people got game and knew their social media (twitter, facebook, linkedin, etc.).  I am a geek! I enjoy talking with other geeks. We talk, we collaborate, we take over! I enjoyed the event and I see this event getting bigger and better every year!!!!!!

How many times have you googled your name?

Seriously! I admit. I do on occasion and find it quite funny on some of the things  that come up by googling myself. Also, I guess it doesn’t make it any easier having a name that matches a wrestler’s name (Iron Mike Sharpe)

But hey, I’m not complaining, When you google “Mike Sharpe” I come up 3rd and it’s my twitter account, no worries since I’m known musically by my DJ name. If you google dj sharpe, djsharpe or dj sharpe music I come up first… So I guesss I can’t complain, especially since I didn’t have to get in a ring and make a jackass of myself to be noticed.

Plus! Trust me. I’m no SEO master but I somewhat know my way around the interwebs and I have done nothing special. But the main reason I’m writing this is because when googling my name I find the craziest sites still selling my old mix CD”S that were released on Adrenalin records. We’re talking at least 6 years ago. This is before I began releasing music under my own label on iTunes and other online music stores.

The more I think about it the more I am starting to consider releasing my own original music and mix cd’s thru my own site like quite a few other artists have began doing. I never made, mixed or produced music to become a millionaire but I did do it because of the feeling it gave me watching a crowd react to a track that I produced, mixed or mashed up! I am sure I will come up with more ramblings about this subject but for now I feel satisfied….

What’s next…Only time will tell!

This is the day where I opened up my soul to the world and let you into the life of me “The DJ”. I plan to make some of my music, mixes, remixes & mashups available here exclusively. I’ll also post some on soundcloud as well depending on my mood. I do plan to try & keep the writing up to date but don’t blame me if it’s sporatic (I do have a life). So what do you say we start this little journey and see where it takes us?
